The high point of Willie Colón's ongoing collaboration with Rubén Blades (and close to a career peak for both artists), Siembra exploded on the salsa scene in 1978 and has never been forgotten by fans. Beginning with a minute of playfully deceptive quasi-disco arrangements, Colón and his band slip into a devastating salsa groove for the opener, "Plástico," on which Blades first criticizes America's throwaway society and then brings all of Latin America together with a call to unity. Blades wrote all but one of the songs on Siembra, and shines on all of them; his extended high-tenor salsa scatting lifts "Buscando Guayaba," his tender side comes across on the love song "Dime," and he outlines a devastating life-in-el-Barrio exposé with "Pedro Navaja" (Peter the Knife). For the latter, Colón and Luis Ortiz's tight arrangement adds immeasurably to the song, using street noise and sirens, breaking into an ironic "I like to live in America!," and punching the statement home with a four-trombone line. Reflecting the tough times but optimistic attitude of el Barrio during the late '70s, Siembra joined Cosa Nuestra as one of Willie Colón's career landmarks. ~ John Bush

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Arguably the greatest salsa album ever
Siembra might be arguably the greatest salsa album ever. Willie Colon and Ruben Blades are great together. Every song on this album is great. The standout songs are Plastico, Buscando Guayaba, the timeless classic Pedro Navaja, and Ojos. Ruben Blades improvisations are great. And in the song Buscando Guayaba Mr. Blades gives us what he calls "un solo de boca". If you are a salsa fan and don't own this album shame on you!

JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "I Can Love You Like That" was nominated for 1996 Grammy Awards for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song. John Michael has come a long way from the days when he was considered just another country hat act. He recorded one of the biggest-selling albums of 1994, KICKIN' IT UP, and had the biggest country single of the year, "I Swear," which earned him a Grammy nomination for his vocals. JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY takes the young Kentuckian's career a step further, showcasing his ability not only to find good material, but to perform it successfully. The album is brimming with the kind of upbeat honky-tonk mouthfuls he has always been able to command. The full-speed, one-breath auction song "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" may be the ultimate spit-it-out honky-tonker. The cowboy-themed "Just Like A Rodeo," on the other hand, is a true departure, a horn-backed big-band shuffle on which John Michael expands his musical boundaries. Mostly, it is is love he is pursuing. His commercial strength has always been in the power ballad, and he doesn't let fans down here. Whether it's the fulfillment of dreams on "I Can Love You Like That" (a song that will give "I Swear" a run for its money), or the ...

"SELF-TITLED EP"PRODUCED BY: TED COMERFORDMIXED BY: MITCH EASTER & PAUL DAVID HAGERBIOHailing from Morgantown, WV, a major East Coast college town, the Argument is a smart alt-pop quartet that combines clever, creative songwriting and infectious melodies to produce a sound full of raw wit and energy. The combo's trademark keyboard-driven pop hooks and penchant for lush four-part harmony have garnered critical praise and prompted comparisons to Ben Folds, Fountains of Wayne and Jellyfish. An experienced live act that energizes and engages it's audience, the Argument has shared the stage with such major label acts as Train, 3 Doors Down, Fountains of Wayne, Howie Day and OK Go.Committed to expanding it's already sizable regional fan base, the Argument tours regularly showcasing a raucous, high energy stage show at metropolitan venues and college campuses all across the East Coast and Midwest. Since 2000, this multi-talented ensemble has been playing 130+ shows a year captivating crowds with it's uncanny capacity for pure entertainment.After the success of their debut 2000 release "Your New Favorite Band", the band released it's sophomore album "Recess Serenade" in the spring of 2004. On "Recess Serenade", the band combined efforts with producer Ted Comerford (EBO, Virginia Coalition, Maverick Records) and turned to mixers Paul Hager (American Hi-Fi, Letters To Cleo, Shawn Mullins) and Mitch Easter (REM, Pavement) to create ten edgy and exciting new tracks. ...
In The Mood
Kyosuke Himuro In The Mood CD  (2006) (Import) Bonus DVD; Japan

Siembra music CDs
CD $52.55
Kyosuke Himuro's In the Mood is a record that sounds better in description than upon actual playing. A successful solo effort by the vocalist of Boowy, the band that most J-rockers of the '90s and 2000s grew up listening to; a return to a harder edged sound after time spent wallowing in ballads; and a moderate attempt to upgrade the sound to the standards of 2006. What's not to like? Turns out, there's quite a lot: for starters, the shadow of the '80s still hangs heavy over the record, and not in a pretty, retro way. Himuro really knows his way around a hard rock riff, which he peppers with solos typical of the period, and he's also able to vary the tempo, mixing some breathers and a ballad between the faster tunes. But, for all that, In the Mood sounds restrained, and that's a terminal failure, because the whole point of '80s music was its naïve excess and extravaganza, and those are totally absent from the album, even ...
